Quality & precision

I’ve long been an admirer of the artistry of Rugged Glory, and recently took delivery of a beautifully executed axe plaque that embodies a true sense of achievement.  The staff at Rugged Glory went out of their way to make sure it was perfect, and it incorporates many elements that reflect the 150th Anniversary of the San Francisco Fire Department.

Dave Ebarle, Co-Chair SFFD Sesquicentennial

I have personally asked Rugged Glory to make three differently themed axes. All, and I mean ALL, of them are above and beyond what I expected! Thanks to all the team members of Rugged Glory for the axes! If you’re looking to give someone a custom axe, look no further! These guys do it right!

Fernando Gomez, Miami Dade Fire Rescue
